I have a start on the first column I'll be publishing at Inside Higher Ed after the holiday and it's titled "The Age of Agency," because I've long thought that's what we should be teaching anyway, and as you illustrate here, it's even more important with the presence of this technology.
It is somewhat comforting to note that my pedagogy has always aimed for these ideals, but now I’m getting more intentional about it. I’m trying not to feel resentful that there is so little support for it, but I’m going to try to focus on being part of the solution and helping colleagues to center agency .
What a year, Marc! I'm glad to be joining you for part of it. And I love what you say here about agency. I found the Cate Hall post particularly insightful there, so thanks for the link. It's easy to feel overwhelmed with AI, but so helpful to learn from each other as we go.

Interesting...
I had just "noted" the concern with how AI might negatively affect our mental process:

Without the challenge to survive, which turn will mankind take? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter!
